Sweet, thanks! However, is there any reason to just not modify it ever? I'm not sure what I was thinking when I wrote that. It might've been part of some debugging or something.
I'm pretty sure the motivation is that OS X is using argv[0] of the Python framework as the name to display in the menu bar. Without the symlink, the app has a "Python" menu with items like "About Python" (instead of "CHIRP" and "About CHIRP").
An alternative is to try and use some undocumented APIs to reset the process name post-launch: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14122330/programatically-setting-the-mac...
I'm not sure how this is "supposed" to work.
